“Then do you know from which direction these Demon Lords will attack?” Lainekel replied, “As far as I currently know, there are only two. The Greed Demon Lord will attack the Southern Continent and establish a main base in the Main World. Balzarna, on the other hand, will launch an attack from the ocean direction, clearing any obstacles in the sea and preparing for the Demon Army to cross over to the Northern Continent.”

Well, that means the Ocean Crown, located in the central sea area, will face the first wave of attacks when the demons officially launch their invasion?

Ji Chen only had a moment of worry before putting it aside.

When the enemy were to invade, he would meet them head-on; when the water arrived, he would use the earth to cover it. To capture the Ocean Crown, he would have to break two of Balzama’s teeth!

With a determined heart, Ji Chen also realized that the current strength of the Ocean Crown was still insufficient. Even if you added up the numbers of all the different types of troops, there were only a little over ten thousand. In contrast, the demons could easily muster millions of demons with just a wave of their hands.

He was confident in a one-on-ten battle and could attempt a one-on-fifty battle, but fighting hundreds would be quite challenging, especially since the demons’ tier levels were generally not weak.

The Ocean Crown’s army needed to reach at least fifty thousand and reach a level of tier six across the board to have the preliminary strength to resist the demon army.

However, the resources required to upgrade troop tiers and increase troop numbers were not a small amount. Nevertheless, he had a preliminary plan and perhaps could find a breakthrough during his visit to the Elven Capital.

In a secluded valley hundreds of miles away.

This was a gathering place for a Orc tribe, and in the depths of the valley, an open-air altar stood. The shaman of the Empty Tooth tribe was reciting strange and incomprehensible incantations.

Behind him, two robust Fangtooth Orcs positioned the final pair of captives onto the altar and employed their bone blades to slit the throats of these captives. Although the sacrificial victims had their hands and feet bound, they made frantic attempts to break free. However, as their blood gushed out swiftly, their resistance gradually waned.

Eventually, they succumbed and lay motionless on the ground.

In the altar, more than a dozen other sacrifices had already been bled, and the thick blood covered the entire altar, seeping into the engraved patterns and grooves, faintly forming a totem symbol.

The priest raised his hands, stained with fresh blood, his pupils turning white as if receiving something. His body trembled like someone with Parkinson’s disease.

After a long time, his eyes returned to normal, and his expression became excited, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

“Demon, our ancient friends, are about to return to the world.”

The two Fangtooth Orcs below the altar were instantly excited. The demons were coming back?

Then they could end this ugly world, reclaim the land occupied by the elves and humans, and make the Orcs great again!

The priest’s tone suddenly became intense, full of anger, and he shouted, “But they’ve run into some trouble and need our help!”

“A few hundred miles to the west, an airship will fly by, and there are traitors to the demons on board!”

“Shoot down that airship, kill the humans, traitors, and elves on it!

The orcs pounded their chests in anger and roared, “Kill the enemy!”

Woo woo!

The horn representing the battle sounded, echoing throughout the entire valley. Ferocious-looking orcs rushed out of the dilapidated houses in the valley, and sharp-beaked wyverns flew out of the caves on the cliffs.

The orcs blew their unique whistles, calling their mounts. They mounted their saddles and pulled the reins, causing their mounts to take flight.

In just half an hour, the valley saw the rise of five thousand-strong orc riders. The gray-brown flesh wings formed a sea of gray.

“A few hundred miles to the west! Shoot down the airship! Kill the enemy!” Eyes clouded with anger ignited with the roar, arousing their thirst for slaughter and blood.

Under the control of the orc riders, the sharp-beaked wyverns flew like a foreboding dark cloud towards the west in large groups.

On the airship.

Ji Chen knew nothing about all this. At this moment, he stood in front of an open door, looking somewhat speechless at the elven lady in elegant attire before him.

He had originally planned to stay in his room as much as possible during this journey, to minimize the chances of getting into trouble.

However, he hadn’t expected trouble to come knocking on his door.

May I invite you, Human Lord, to have a drink with me?” The voluptuous elven lady with captivating eyes gazed at Ji Chen intently, her heart slightly ablaze.

He was the most handsome human man she had ever seen in her life, even more so than the males in her group of elves.

Especially his mysterious and powerful aura, the indifference in his eyes as if he didn’t care about anything, made her feel a flutter of excitement as if her body was tingling just from his gaze.

Being brought on board this airship reserved for elven nobility meant that his status was not ordinary.

She had tasted many elves before, but human encounters were a rarity. If she could have such an experience during this short journey, it wouldn’t be bad…

Seeing the increasingly odd look in the elven lady’s eyes, Ji Chen felt a shiver down his spine.

Elves have long lifespans, abundant resources, and unparalleled power in the world, which naturally breeds many bad habits. It is rumored that the private lives of some elven nobles are extremely decadent, and they have learned some of the dirty dealings between human lords and nobles.

Never did Ji Chen expect to be targeted by an elven lady. He raised his eyebrows and declined, “I’m sorry, but I have some other matters to attend to, and I can’t accompany you, madam.”

However, the elven lady seemed to have set her sights on him and extended her hand to block the closing door. She licked her lips, and her desire on her face grew more intense.

“Don’t be like this; it’s just a simple drink.”

Yeah, right!

“Ahem, madam, please restrain yourself.”

Just as the elven lady was about to make further advances, a voice came from beside them.

“Lord Ji Chen… Huh!?”

Hearing this voice, Ji Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He gently pushed open the door and smiled.

“Sir Miligas, you’ve come.”

The newcomer was indeed Miligas, and at this moment, he was looking at Ji

Chen with an amused look in his eyes.

The elven lady glanced at Miligas and smiled softly, “Sir Miligas, do you happen to know this human lord?”

“Of course, I brought him up here to meet Her Majesty in the capital.”

The elven lady’s eyes widened in surprise, “Meet Her Majesty?”

Miligas chuckled. “Lord Ji Chen’s territory has a lot of trade dealings with us, and the highly popular Merfabric in the capital is produced in his territory. That’s why His Majesty wants to meet him.”

The elven lady was even more astonished. Merfabric had become extremely popular in the capital over the past few months, and she had gone to great lengths to acquire a piece. She dared not wear the dress made from it to any important events, fearing that she might damage it. She hadn’t expected that such a precious fabric would come from the territory of this handsome human. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to be surprised by this revelation or by the fact that she was about to meet Her Majesty.

Seeing the elven lady, who had initially wanted to savor human cuisine, no longer wearing that enthusiastic look, Ji Chen finally relaxed and said with a smile.

“Yes, what I mentioned earlier is indeed about discussing the preparations for meeting Her Majesty with Lord Miligas.”

Seeing Ji Chen give him a knowing look, Miligas nodded in agreement, saying, “Indeed, meeting Her Majesty requires quite a bit of preparation.”

The elven lady showed a look of understanding and didn’t press further. She simply blinked at Ji Chen and said, “If you have some free time later, you can come to my room for a drink. It’s the last one at the end of the corridor.” Watching her disappear down the corridor, Miligas sighed with a hint of regret, “To refuse such an opportunity that came knocking at the door for free, what a waste.”

Ji Chen rolled his eyes. “It depends on the timing. I don’t have the mind for such things in critical moments.”

Miligas paused for a moment, then nodded. “You’re right. With your abilities, there’s no shortage of women. Just the news that you’re the lord of the territory producing Merfabric has attracted countless aspiring young ladies and noblewomen to your doorstep.”

Ji Chen glanced at him, wondering why he hadn’t noticed before that Miligas could be so unscrupulous at times..
